Care and Storage

Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer.

When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.

Wipe the lens particularly carefully after use at the beach or around chemicals.

In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult the nearest service center.

Never disassemble the camera by yourself, as this is dangerous.

Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides on your camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.

If the camera exterior becomes dirty, dry wipe the exterior using a soft cloth such as a spectacles cloth, or wet wipe using a well-wrung out cloth. Do not use solvents, as doing so may cause the external surface of the product to corrode.
